Lightbulb Re: First Oil Change

Be-Aware There is nothing wrong with one doing their own Maintenance, like oil changes and Etc.

However just keep in Mind that especially while your vehicle is under the Factory-Warranty and Honda does not have a Record in their Srvice History as to the Scheduled Oil Changes being Performed by them (Honda-Dealers) that you would be well (Advised) to keep Very-Very good Records and Receipts of when you do the Oil Changes so that if something would happen to the Engine that (Honda) will (Approve-The-Warranty-Work) to Repair the Vehicle.

I know as all of you do that it is Very-Unlikely that you will have a problem with an Engine in a Honda but I think that we all are here to furnish (Helpful) information to each other and that is all this comment is for.

I work at a Dealer and have been there for 10-Yrs. and have seen Warrany Claims (TURNED-DOWN) because the customer/owner did their own oil-changes (Suppose-To-Have) and the (Warrany-Work) was not approved by the Manufacture because the customer did-not have the neccessary receipts to back up their claims as to them doing the oil-changes.

HTH;
